Investigators survey and mark the scene for evidence around the burned out metal skeleton of a Piper PA-28-236 Dakota airplane in Austin, Texas, on Friday, February 19, 2010. In what authorities describe as an apparent intentional act, a pilot flew a single-engine plane Thursday into a Northwest Austin office building that houses Internal Revenue Service offices, igniting a massive explosion, jolting terrified employees to the floor and triggering a massive federal investigation. The plane was registered to Andrew Joseph Stack III whose nearby home was on fire at roughly the same time.
